We always imagine the archaeologist excavating with his trowel and brush in search of a treasure buried beneath layers of soil. But once the treasure is discovered, the work really begins, and the archaeologist can count on a host of tools to help him in his work: the archaeosciences.
This exhibition reveals the unsuspected toolbox of today's archaeologists. How do physics, chemistry, biology, geology, as well as new technologies help archaeologists to study and decode the artifact's stories? What if you, young and old, were to take part in this scientific adventure?
Slip into the shoes of an archaeologist and try out some of the archaeosciences, manipulate tools, find clues and perhaps solve some archaeological enigmas.
It's a captivating, immersive, enriching and fun experience that will help you discover the science lab you thought you knew!
